It bakes a light fluffy scone, in a mass quantity.<br /><br /><a name="cutid1"></a> The Recipe:<br />3 c. flour<br />3/4 c. sugar<br />3 t. cream of tartar<br />1 t. baking soda<br />1/2 t. salt<br />3/4 c. butter<br />1 egg<br />1/2 c. buttermilk<br />1/2 c. raisins<br /><br />In a large bowl, mix dry ingredients. Cut in butter. In a separate bowl mix egg & milk. Add to dry ingredients. Mix in raisins, stir through. Flour board or counter top. Roll out dough 1/2" thick. Cut into triangles. Bake 8-10 minutes 425-450 degrees.<br /><br /><br />There's the official recipe. Now, I don't keep buttermilk around. In a cookbook I found that a substitution was 1/2 plain yogurt, 1/2 milk. The last time I made these scones I needed more liquid, so I used 1/4 c. yogurt, and added 1/2 c. milk - stirred them together for 3/4 c. liquid. I also mixed dried cranberries in before the liquid, but after the butter, because I read in another recipe that you want to manhandle the dough as little as possible.<br /><br /><br />The first batch of scones came out of the oven PERFECT! The second batch got a little burnt because I was distracted by morning conversation. I scraped off the bottom, and they all disappeared in an instant. http://my-scone-quest.livejournal.com/760.html public 0
